Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches and Snapshots "Mamma, are Tories born wicked, or do they grow wicked afterwards?" "My dear, they are born wicked, and grow worse." Ex oribus parvulorum. - This was the Shorter Catechism of Whiggery; and by none was it more devoutly believed than by the Ministers who kissed Queen Victoria´s hand on that fateful June 20, 1837. I propose to myself in this chapter a two-fold object. I wish to trace, in the light of Queen Victoria´s Letters the attitude of the Crown towards the Whig Ministers and the party who supported them; and to enquire whether Lord Melbourne, Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, and their friends represented the historic Whiggery of the eighteenth century.
